To be honest and with having many years under my belt with spraying, this looks more like "solvent pop" more than fisheyes.. Solvent pop occurs when you lay on the coat too wet and not give it enough time to flash off before applying the next coat. What happens is while the first coat is still flashing off the gases if another coat is placed on top, it traps those gases and they start to release through the last coat you laid (leaving like a pop look) and it looks exactly like what you have in this case.. To fix solvent pop is exactly the same as you would having fisheyes with having to wait for the paint to dry and then lay on a dry coat first followed up with wetter coat making sure the last coat is tacky before applying the next coat..

[@thetriggerman954]

Yo trigger its paul from phantom ,again ..lol now dont hold me to this but i used a little trick once that worked really well, i was spraying a direct gloss after extensive repair and after i layed down first coat as always the dreaded spots of grey primer came through, so i grabbed another gun same fluid tip, same aircap and filled pps cup with thinners not standard thinners of course but paint thinners, did two semi wet coats then after that had dispursed , did a slight mist coat of the direct gloss again to basically let the two meet , and bang! The fish eyes were not showing through weather the thinners melted it or what i dont know but i could then apply the top coat as intended, might not work all the time but it saved me going back to square one.

[@paulkozliwsky3161]

I totally get that bro , I thought is this going to react like crazy?!! But I was all for thinking I was going to have to prep and redcoat again anyway so thought what the he'll, you know yaself sometimes in this trade you got to roll the dice, and like we were saying earlier about these PRO painters ....if you get it right all the time that's just fluke, a good painter knows how to correct things when they go wrong and how to do it without stressing, I mean we deal with high end abd performance cars, but would I call myself a pro painter?!! Na, I beleave I'm pretty good at what I do, but in this game we are forever learning , your never a PRO painter,like you said sat there in an armchair watching you tube and has painted a couple of wheels and a bike frame does not earn the right of PRO in anything, lol, mate I think your golden and I'm going to subscribe, we are so on the same page!

I'm sure most high solid clears would be fine for NYC. I've never been there so not are what the difference would be. Lots of salt water here and high solid clears work great and last 5-10 years in the direct sunlight

Hi Trigger, awesome video bro it was great to see a video on fisheyes as there isn't that many out there but a lot of them don't tell us the truth about the fisheye eliminator, I've heard a few people say that when you use it that particular gun can no longer be used for normal painting and you have to keep it just for using the fisheye eliminator which as we know is a load of💩🤨as you mentioned you just need to give your gun a good clean with thinners then it's ready to use for what ever you want👌🤓 Just want to wish you and your family a awesome Christmas and happy Holidays Trig and a blessed new year🎄🎅🙏John UK

[@thetriggerman954]

Thank you John, I've already had a bunch of commenters telling me false stories. To be honest that's the main reason I really don't do much videos on the extensive knowledge that I have is because these guys seem to know it all that watch KZbin videos so I try to just stick with the basic stuff that's all over KZbin. believe me brother I have more tricks up my sleeves but some of the things I know I've learned from painters that are dead and gone and I think most of them I will just keep to myself until I am dead and gone. Have a great holiday my brother. Thank you for chiming in you're always appreciated here 🙏🏼🙌🏼❤️

right it would happen on the work truck that can get a little scratched up, and unless you have enough fans and sufficient airflow the garage can be a no-no sometimes , or unless you can leave garage door all the way open, in my case I was semi trying to hide from my neighbors 🤣🤣🤣 weather its them bugging me saying hey I didn’t know you know how to do that , or tripping because clear coats barrowling out of my garage window and side door 🚪 🤣🤣🤣🤣
